For the Record

■ Rep. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), on Judiciary Committee, declares perjury in civil suit is not impeachable. He wins newfound respect from New York Times, but GOP colleagues identify him as weak link. . . . ABC/Washington Post poll: 54 per cent of likely voters think Bill Clinton should resign. . . . Rep. John Boehner (R., Ohio): “Do you realize the President this year has had exactly two Cabinet meetings? One to bring his Cabinet in January to tell them that he didn’t have sex with that woman and then he brought them back in back in August to say, ‘Well, I’m sorry I lied to you when we met the last time.’” . . . On Nov. 3, 1989, Sen. Tom Daschle (D., S.D.), now Minority Leader, voted to impeach Federal Judge Walter Nixon: “This morning we impeached a judge from Mississippi for failing to tell the truth. Those decisions are always very difficult and certainly, in this case, it came after a great deal of concern and thoughtful analysis of the facts.” . . . X-rated movie-maker David Schlesinger in TV Guide, on why pornographers won’t film a Clinton scandal parody: “It would be a funny movie, but President Clinton is a total supporter of the industry and he’s always been on our team.”

■ Magic number for Senate Republicans is net gain of 5 seats, which would provide filibuster-proof majority of 60. Sens. Carol Moseley-Braun (D., Ill.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) look like losers in November. Republicans also hoping to grab Senate seats in Kentucky, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, Wisconsin. Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh certain to capture seat left open by retiring Sen. Dan Coats (R.). Democrats also have eye on GOP incumbents in New York and North Carolina. . . . In House, Democrats scramble to save worried incumbents Leonard Boswell (Iowa), Lane Evans (Ill.), Jay Johnson (Wisc.), James Maloney (Conn.), John Tierney (Mass.), Ted Strickland (Ohio). GOP likely to win some or all of these races.
